Highlight

A trust is void or subject to reformation by the court to the extent its creation was induced by fraud, duress, or undue influence.
The “law of the case” doctrine and the scope of the parties’ appeal define the parameters of review on appeal.
Claims of undue influence can be properly disposed of by summary judgment when the parties claiming undue influence have failed to support their opposition to the summary judgment motion with sufficient facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.
